This bomber had a typical short career. Built by Douglas at Long Beach, it was delivered to Denver on 7 August 1943, and assigned to 365th BS at RAF Chelveston on 16 September. Shot up by Luftwaffe fighters while returning from raid against Bremen on 8 October and crash-landed in the Noordoostpolder, an area then just reclaimed from the sea. The crew survived.
